As you might have read my dash is about to start imploding. I’ve found salvage yards that have 2010-2012 dashboards for about $200-$400. I’m assuming by 2010 they should be the better non degrading materials as only the 07/08’s were granted an “extension” on them.

I found online the pdf which the tech’s used to determine if a car was eligible or ineligible for replacement. The form tells the tech to:

Refer to the Technical Information System (TIS), applicable model and model year Repair Manual:

• 2007 / 2008 ES 350:
Vehicle Interior – Interior Panels/Trim – “Instrument Panel: Instrument Panel Safety Pad: Removal”

Does anybody know where I might be able to find this. I’d like to see how hard this would be to do. I can’t see it being that difficult as car nowadays are basically legos. I am concerned about rattles that I might develop after the fact. I love the car really really hate the dash, I ordered a dash mat but I think I’m going to hate that just as much as the chalky now starting to crack dash.

Thank you I’ll look through these! I ordered a 2010 steering wheel because the wood on top of mine was faded and my buttons were shot. Taking everything apart I can’t believe how in Two weeks since I cleaned the entire inside of the car to now the dash went from looking ok with little cracks up top to now it’s completly ashy with a huge side to side crack and the entire thing is discolored even the bottom of the dash is ashy gray where before it was shiny. The plastic bellow the dash is dark black it’s crazy this all happened in like a week maybe because it got cold out SMH!
